Shapes

Write programs as graphical dataflow charts instead of text. Compile them to any programming language you want. Besides this project includes the most efficient tree-based sorting algorithm that is possible.

Originally developed on a CTOS Color NGEN, at first in Pascal, later ported to C, finally - 20 years later - ported to Linux. Currently it's still not really system independent. But it's intended that further releases will cure this.

Compiler
